whislt I totally agree that Zaghes cleaned up the diluted SMW division up to 2007, he barely touched LH, fighting two blownup fortysomething MWs, and with good reason, he wasnt capable at that weight. Joe did MUCH less of a job of cleaning up in the bigger LH division than Chad, who lost one fight by accidental headbutt. big deal.
And your point? Joe wouldn't have fought Dawson anyway he's not over 40 ! And Pascal was saved deal with it !
Id look for Calzaghe to take it in the late rounds. Ward doesn't really have the power to keep Joe honest.
in a world filled with a candy store full of world champions, full marks for this thread for matching up the only current legitimate SMW world champion and the only man who legitimately held that mantle before him
Ward is like a young (old version) of Bernard Hopkins with less power and leaves himself open more, Calzaghe would win the exchanges in an ugly fight and his punch output would trouble Ward a lot Calzaghe UD all day long
